Introduced in 1993, it sports 57.1 hp at 9500 rpm. It is a sturdy naked bike, with an engine designed, according to Honda engineers,to last for 300.000 km. One bike was tested by Moto Revue from 1993 to 1996. Dismantled at 50.000 km, the engine was in perfect condition. At 100.000 km only the distribution chain and the pistons were replaced, although, in tester's oppinion, it could have run with the original parts for a longer time, with no problems. Some buyers agree that certain finishes are not of the usual Honda quality, but the competitive price more than compensates for these minor flaws. It is an excellent beginner bike, with outstanding maneuvrability. It is very popular with riding schools. It makes for a decent commuter bike, especially when fitted a windshield for extended high speed riding.
